Explore! Mr Hall would have been pleased! Found it! From that "A. S. N. Hotel" (see note), which is mentioned in Trove as John and Mill Streets, Pyrmont (selling tobacco without a licence). The LYDERHORN is anchored in Pyrmont Bay, with Pyrmont in the background. We are looking almost west from about the "R" in Darling on this 1895 interactive map - www.nla.gov.au/apps/cdview/?pi=nla.map-rm3443-sd&rgn=... A stone's throw from the ANMM, but almost unrecognizable to what is there now - the area has probably been rebuilt two or three times.
